Join us for a special evening with Claire Cheney, founder of Curio Spice and dear friend of Sofra, as we raise awareness and funds for the Women’s Rose Cooperative of the Mgoun Valley.
Please note that this is a different format from our traditional cooking classes!
Since founding Curio Spice in 2015, Claire has worked to source spices directly from farmers and amplify their stories through her beautiful, unique blends. On this night, she’ll share her deep connection to the women of the Rose Cooperative, including a short film about their lives and work. She’ll also speak about the impact of climate change—how drought and flooding are threatening their livelihoods—and what we can do to help sustain and preserve their farming and cultural traditions.
The chefs at Sofra are preparing a vibrant feast inspired by Moroccan flavors and rose petals. All proceeds from the evening will go directly to support the Rose Cooperative.
We’ll also be raffling off handmade Moroccan goods—don’t miss it!
